We're about to get an onslaught of young Chinese geniuses (raised in China). It's pure statistics

Sadly, same can't be said about India (infrastructure/food security lags China).

I don't think you can blame food security here.

Even if food security holds back 10% of Indians (which would still be a huge tragedy), that would still leave the other 90% for the 'onslaught'. 10% is just a made up number. But even with 50% you'd get an 'onslaught'.

So if we are seeing less than that, it's probably down to other factors.

I'm not so sure about that: https://www.populationpyramid.net/china/2026/ suggests peak high school in china was years ago.
